25 of the best Erotic Films

25 of the best Erotic Films (note I said erotic, not hardcore....)
A Listmania! list by Kiwi (Mississauga, Ontario Canada)
The list author says: "There's lots of bad movies out there under the "erotic" label. From personal viewing experience, here's some of the ones I think are worth watching."
1. The Lover DVD ~ Jane March
The list author says:
"The young Jane March is stunning with or without clothes. One of the best soft-core films ever made (IMHO) - altho many a reviwer denies the softcore label and says "it's a love story". Watch for yourself and make up your own mind.."


2. Wild Orchid DVD ~ Mickey Rourke
The list author says:
"The sex scenes with Carre Otis are outstanding. Watch this one with your girlfriend - don't waste it watching by yourself!"

3. Lolita DVD ~ Jeremy Irons
The list author says:
"Lolita - need one say more! Dominique Swain is a little charmer."

4. Beau Pere DVD ~ Patrick Dewaere
The list author says:
"14-year-old girl attracted to her 30-year-old stepfather. Who gives in and allows himself to be seduced. Ariel Besse is cute!"


5. The Hot Spot DVD ~ Don Johnson
The list author says:
"Best known to lecherous film buffs for Jennifer Connelly's topless scene! No more needs to be said."


6. 9 1/2 Weeks DVD ~ Mickey Rourke
The list author says:
"You won't regret buying this one. A lot of sex, dominance / submissive stuff, extremely erotic and well filmed. Elizabeth's a bit old though."



7. 36 Fillette DVD ~ Delphine Zentout
The list author says:
"On vacation, 14 year old Lili vows to lose her virginity - and suceeds. More realistic than most but good nonetheless. Most of the sex is under the sheets so to speak."


8. In the Realm of the Senses DVD ~ Tatsuya Fuji
The list author says:
"One of the most sexually explicit films ever to play in mainstream theaters. Well worth watching."

$ 9. Lies DVD ~ Sang Hyun Lee
The list author says:
"A tale of an obsessive affair between a schoolgirl and a middle-aged sculptor. Korean film, quite graphic in some ways and more interesting than erotic - although the initial seduction at the start isn't too bad. Moves on into their shared interested in S&M. If coprophilia's not your thing, don't watch this one!"


10. Eugenie - The Story of Her Journey Into Perversion DVD ~ Uta Dahlberg
The list author says:
"Innocent young Eugenie is initiated into a world of pleasure and pain where she surrenders to her own forbidden fantasies! An exploration of extreme sexuality!"



11. The Story of O DVD ~ Corinne Clery
The list author says:
"The beautiful fashion photographer O is trained for a seemingly satisfying life of love and discipline! A Classic!"

12. Pretty Baby [VHS] VHS Brooke Shields
The list author says:
"Brooke Shields as a twelve year old about-to-be career prostitute. Well made by Louis Malle. No overt sex."

13. The Blue Lagoon (Special Edition) DVD ~ Brooke Shields
The list author says:
"Bad film, but it pays special attention to the burgeoning sexuality of Brooke Shields, pubescent cutie! Turn the sound off and freeze-frame Brooke naked!"


14. Cat People DVD ~ Nastassja Kinski
The list author says:
"Nastassja Kinski and sex! Need I say more! Plenty of poster-art nudity. Some nice wild-life shots too!"


15. Wild Things DVD ~ Matt Dillon
The list author says:
"Neve Campbell, Denise Richards and Matt Dillon, with accusations of rape and a convulted plot."


16. Marquis De Sade: Justine DVD ~ Mike Brendel
The list author says:
"Justine is full of wanton nudity and sexual perversion plus Romina Power, Tyrone Power's 18-year-old daughter. And Klaus Kinski. What more can one say!"

17. A Woman called Sada Abe DVD ~ Junko Miyashita
The list author says:
"The daughter of a rich merchant, is banished for losing her virginity after being raped by a college student. Includes a week-long escapade filled with dangerous obsessions"

18. Stealing Beauty DVD ~ Carlo Cecchi
The list author says:
"Bernardo Bertolucci film. More an Italian travelogue than a drama. Liv Tyler stars as Lucy Harmon who has decided to lose her virginity in Tuscany. If you liked Liv Tyler in Lord of the Rings, you'll love her here."



19. Zalman King's Red Shoe Diaries Collection (The Movie/Girl on a Bike/Soundtrack CD) DVD ~ David Duchovny
The list author says:
"Great collection of erotic masterpieces. A worthwhile addition to any collection of erotic movies."

20. The Dreamers (Original Uncut NC-17 Version) DVD ~ Michael Pitt
The list author says:
"Another Bernardo Bertolucci art film that's got lots of sex and nudity. The female star is hot!"

21. Y Tu Mama Tambien DVD ~ Ana López Mercado
The list author says:
"Sex, death, poverty, and adultery. Not quite erotic but good!"


22. Color of Night DVD ~ Bruce Willis
The list author says:
"An older Jane March with some so-so sex . Worth it for the sight of Jane March making love! Apparantly she had to coach Bruce thru the sex scenes."

23. Delta of Venus DVD ~ Audie England
The list author says:
"Based on Anais Nin's pre-WWII book. The lead character, played by Audie England, is young American writer in Paris who takes up writing erotica. Plenty of passionate sex. Directed by Zalman King, whose excellent at this sort of stuff."


24. Embrace of the Vampire DVD ~ Martin Kemp
The list author says:
"If you're looking for a softcore porn movie starring Alyssa Milano's bare breasts, you've found the right movie.
Alyssa Milano gets naked. You see her nipples with amazing frequency. She lets guys touch her in dream sequences. She lets a female photographer touch her, remove most of her clothing, and then kiss her. But unfortunately that's it. Worth it for Alyssa's breasts IMHO!"



26. Laura DVD ~ Dawn Dunlap, James Mitchell Maud Adams
The list author says:
"David Hamilton is well known for his photography of adolescent girls. Laura was a venture into films along the same lines. Thin plot, poor acting and non-existent dialogue but the seduction scene at the end isn't bad as erotic films go. It's basically a film of a David Hamilton book."
